Todd (nolemmings)Vorthian, I saw that many of the lots didn't sell at all, and am wondering if we're starting to see a slowdown in the hobby. I confess I only periodically check in on teletrade-- I guess I'm too turned off by the juice they charge when EBay does not, and the fact that if you win multiple lots, they insist on charging you $6.00 per item shipping, no exceptions. Probably a little petty on my part, and it wouldn't stop me if I saw something I really wanted (sorry you got squeezed on the Colgan's Cobb).
Anyway, I've seen that the m101-4 set has been soft for some time, which is good for me because I'm just getting into it. Also,I thought the Matty would at least fetch the opening. The entire auction must have been a disappointment, at least from a vintage standpoint. Makes it all the more frustrating to be broke, when all those bargains just sit there without bidders.
